Anyway, what's he doing at home? Shouldn't he be studying or earning his keep at this time of day?

The original Smart ForTwo (actually a project from the owners of Swatch and partnered with VW.... Daimler-Benz came along later when VW pulled out) had a passenger safety cell called Tridion. The idea was you could replace panels to personalise them... a bit like a Swatch watch.
However, the original Smart ForFour shared a platform with the Mitsubishi Colt. The current Smart ForFour shares a platform with the Twingo with the running gear from the ForTwo.

If my experience is anything to go by, a more correct response would have been... "Study day" Supposedly

I do miss our Roadster still.
I didn't know the ForFour was a Bitsomushi Colt underneath, but now you mention it there is a resemblance. No Tridion cell on one of those then, I suppose? Shame.

The Roadster will have been the same. As was the slightly silly Crossblade: Crossblade
Talking of silly cars that I don't see the point of, I saw the Evoque convertible the other day. Evoque Convertible

The driver from Mercedes has just dropped my car off and left in the fat wasp. Blimey, what a good turning circle that wee car has. We live off a very narrow lane so when reversing out ( yeah I know ) it usually requires a bit of shuffling back and forth to straighten up but that thing just went out in one reverse turn. Father in law's Fiesta takes two. Impressed with the wee beasty.

Well done Humph, I am impressed with your wit and foresight.
Not so much your reversing though.

I never said "I" have a problem reversing ( driving God y'see ) it's the "others" 🤓

Are you one of those "never had an accident, just seen quite a lot in my rear view mirror" types?
